1972 Dodge Sportsman Royal Van, better known as the "MELVAN" Featured in many books, Cobain Unseen, Come As You Are ETC. & Many NIRVANA documentary films. This is a very unique piece of MELVINS/NIRVANA history & truly one of a kind. The KISS Mural on the side was hand drawn by Kurt Cobain using sharpie markers shoplifted from the Thriftway grocery store in Montesano Washington. (former employer of King Buzzo) This was one of the first MELVINS tour vans & was used on at least one U.S. tour. Kurt himself was often times known to drive this van to local shows, also included are two former registration's, one signed by Roger Osborne (King Buzzo) & the second signed by former MELVINS bass player Matt Lukin ! Bid High & Bid Often ,this will probably be your one & only chance to own this unique piece of music history !

In other news, Nirvana's former manager is part of a group that is "planning to pour substantial funds into the Occupy Wall Street movement in hopes of sustaining the protests and fostering political change."

Would be nice if you actually read the whole auction.This is not THE Tad Doyle at all

"No, Thank You for the question, their have been lot's of false reports online saying Tad Doyle, front man of the Band TAD is selling this this van, I am not Tad Doyle, nor Have I ever claimed to be, my name is Mitch, & I have listed the MELVAN for my friend Ben, I am however a HUGE TAD FAN & I highly encourage you to check out his new band, "BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH" They are BAD A** !"

I am the owner of the Thriftway that Kurt Cobain stole the markers from. I will be filing a lawsuit against the owner of this vehicle to be compensated for the loss of the markers and part of the profits made off this, seeing as how a lot of it's appeal was created from merchandise stolen from my store. See you in court pal!

Anybody bidding on this ....
(a) has way too much disposable money (they are obviously the 1%)
(b) has way too much time on their hands (anyone who buys a vehicle other than to get to / from work is part of the problem), and
(c) should be taken out back and beat with a bag of dildos (the black "ass-to-ass" ones)

Kurt changed my life with his insightful and surreal music and lyrics. I only wished he could have stuck around to make more to listen to for future generations. I was compelled to compose a portrait of him In Memoriam recently on the anniversary of his death on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-memoriam-kurt-cobain-and-lane-staley.html Drop in and tell me your memories of his music and how it’s affected you.

Got my bid in, and when I win I'm gonna set up a nice little business where I charge people money to come for a ride in the van to 'live the history'. $15 a ride, 100 riders a day, 50 weeks a year (gotta vacation, though I could charge people while I'm on vacation too), I'll clear half a mil in no time. That's not even taking into account any money made on gifts, because I will make it so people have to exit through the gift shop. Anybody want in on this exciting opportunity?

Wow, what are the odds that this 9:47 person would have thought of that exact pun on Black Flag's name that LITERALLY every other kid since 1976 who's ever heard the name Black Flag has also thought of? Uncanny.

fuck you 5.39. anyone who judges everyone else by their philosophy should be blah blah blah blah......

and what "problem" is this? I have a vintage sports car I like to drive - it's fun. it's something I saved a long time for, and is ultimately worth it (to me, and I sure do not care what people like you think of that). it goes point a to point b just like your...wait you probably don't have a car.

it would be pretty awesome to tool around in Curt's old van. now get to work and work hard - britney's old geo will be up for auction soon!
